Watch Your Balls!! goes down in the first round.

Date December 10, 2007

We wrapped up our most lackluster bocce season with a prompt first round exit. This season was marred by a lack of Matt on our team along with Sasha not making it to any of our matches. Though we lost the match, we still proceeded with our team dinner at our local Hibachi (get it?) […]

NYC Marathon done been run!

Date November 21, 2007

I wanted Alex to write the marathon post since it was his first marathon and I thought he would give you a fun perspective, but he’s been so swamped at work lately, it doesn’t seem like that’ll happen anytime soon. So here goes:

We finished the marathon! Yay! Which you probably already know from browsing flickr. […]

TOAD Catchup: Oct. 28th - Nov. 12th

Date November 13, 2007

It has been an exceptionally hectic time at work so I’m falling behind more than I ever have with the blog + photos. Here’s a quick run through the past few weeks. Once things calm down a bit, we’ll get together a post on our experience running the Marathon (we finished in 4 hours and […]

Less than two weeks away…

Date October 24, 2007

And we are falling apart!
Earlier this week while moving something, Alex sprained his ankle. It seems to be getting slightly better, but with less than two weeks before he has to run 26.2 miles, he really needs to be fully recovered. He’s been religiously practicing R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate) and started to add some […]

The final week of the Mets season

Date October 8, 2007

TOAD: Sept. 25th, 2007: A little while ago Daya invited us all out to Shea to catch the Mets and the Nationals the last week of the season. Unfortunately for the Mets, the game didn’t go so well and proved to be a harbinger for the week to come. On a side note, we were […]

Anniversary weekend in Chicago

Date September 16, 2007

Karen and I had our first anniversary last weekend (I know you’ve all got 9/9 all up in your file-o-faxes) and we decided for no particular reason that it would be fun to head out to Chicago for the weekend. She’d been there before but it was my first time, which is interesting as I […]

A del.icio.us experiment

Date September 13, 2007

Over the past year I’ve become a pretty avid delicious user. As a serial organizer, I love to a) gather information + data and b) catalog it for later reference. In an effort to expose some of those links and interests as well as get some more posts up here, I’m going to try out […]

Kota’s 1 year old!

Date September 3, 2007

This was a weekend of multiple birthdays and before we got to Micah’s , we were out on Long Island to celebrate our nephew Kota’s 1st birthday. Jeff, Chieko and The B’s really put together a stellar day.

First off, there was an inflatable water slide and a badminton court setup.

The culinary spread was outstanding. […]

This past Saturday, Karen and I went out to Long Island to celebrate Kota’s First Birthday and then came back to meet Micah and others at the Gowanus Yacht Club for Micah’s 29th birthday.
We showed up around 7:30 with Matt and Freya. After sitting down, we tried our best to order some beer but were […]

North Slope Classic BBQ

Date September 2, 2007

Ok… we’re WAY behind on these so I’m just going to get the up there. So as you know we moved to a new apartment back in July and a few weeks later we had a BBQ to answer the following question: Is the North Slope is as good a place to have a BBQ […]
